Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true
If you already have a "FeatureSettings", just add the other line after it. And if you are using Windows to do this, make sure you use a Unix line-end aware editor such as Notepad++. |
Thanks for the super quick response. I added that to .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf, and powered off/on but it didn't make any difference.
I discovered a file called version that contains this:
N867730011075,3.0.35+,4.9.11311,3.0.35+,3.0.35+,00 000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000374
The AP can normally be used by a variety of other devices OK. It doesn't require any authentication.
Any other suggestions? Also, is it possible to see any logs to find out more about why it doesn't want to stay connected?
Thanks again.
